Life Extension has consistently introduced more potent and better absorbed forms of coenzyme Q10 since the product first came on the market in the early 80s. The new Super Ubiquinol with Enhanced Mitochondrial Support™ contains an organic compound called PrimaVie® shilajit that research has shown to double levels of CoQ10 in the mitochondria.

Shilajit has been shown to help restore and sustain cellular energy. The latest studies reveal that when shilajit is combined with CoQ10, cellular energy gains substantially increase.

In the breakthrough preliminary study, the combination of CoQ10 and shilajit produced a 56% increase in cellular energy production in the brain--40% better than CoQ10 alone. In muscle there was a 144% increase, or 27% better than CoQ10 alone.

Researchers have found that shilajit works to boost CoQ10's beneficial effects by:3

1. Stabilizing CoQ10 in its superior ubiquinol form, thereby prolonging its action at the cellular level.
2. Facilitating more efficient delivery of CoQ10 into the mitochondria, resulting in greater cellular energy output.

Scientific analysis shows that shilajit itself is rich in essential compounds that promote mitochondrial metabolism. Part of shilajit's beneficial effects derives from its ability to help the mitochondria convert fats and sugars into adenosine triphosphate, or ATP--the body's main source of energy.

Combining ubiquinol CoQ10 with shilajit generates a powerful synergy that supports more youthful cellular energy production than CoQ10 along. What's more, Life Extension has added this novel ingredient to its CoQ10 formulations without increasing the price.
